Five Things About Me

1. I was born one month premature.

3. I was my middle school's tennis champ until a busted leg when I was 12 permanently sidelined me.
4. I was a security officer at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas back in 2006 and met numerous celebrities.
5. My mission in life is to help others feel better 🤗

@Zoranna I used to be able to put a wicked spin on the ball that once it hit the clay surface it would do a crazy bounce, my opponent usually missed it LOL

Very cool! Who was the most memorable celebrity you met?:D

@Caprice Moses Malone, who played for the Utah Jazz basketball team. He was with Chris Webber, Alan Iverson, some hack half season Saturday Night Live comedian, the actor Mark Curry, and actress Regina King and her assistant. I was doing suite duty one night and the nightclub had just closed for the early morning and they had their own private elevator to their comped four room suite, someone cussed, I forget who, and Moses yelled really loud, "Don't you be blaspheming my Lord, don't you take his name in vain." I swear, I moved as close to the corner by the key panel as I could to get away and Regina and her assistant were pressing into me to get away from him as well, Ms. King looked frightened as hell. The next overnight shift I had suite duty as well, and sitting at a desk for eight hours outside the suite door opposite the private elevator doors can get quite boring and cause you to want to nod off and I was quite loopy from forcing to stay awake. About 2am the buzzer rings and Ms. King and her assistant want to come up early, but Regina has to use the restroom. I completely forgot that I had the passkey and tell her where the employee room is in the hallway leading to the employee elevators, and she just looks at me and shrugs. When she was in there for a minute I remembered the passkey and sheepishly apologized, she just laughed and said not to worry about it. As far as I know she never said a thing to management as I never got written up for it.

That’s funny! I imagine I would have had the same reaction to him yelling too! He was no small guy.
It’s always nice to know some celebrities are down to earth people too:)
